As you know "The Economist" is based on the premise that the world is best guided by the free-market theories of Scotsmen Adam Smith and David Hume - and their economic theories lead to obvious common sense answers to every situation around the world - with a great deal of tut-tutting toward those who don't share their "obvious insights". "The Economist" was founded in 1843 by an English businessman who opposed the"corn laws" the import tariffs on grain which helped subsidize the estates of the landed gentry. Even these early issues of the magazine congratulated the reader for being wise and discerning enough to be reading and understanding the common sense insights laid out in the publication. Today "The Economist" maintains the same tone as essentially a publication of an economic-religion 50% controlled by the largest owners of FIAT, Gianni Agnelli and his family, and the Rothschild family in London. The remaining ownership is held by the editors and employees. "The Economist" currently supports Brexit as strongly as it supported the EU - economist.com In years to come it will be fun to scan articles in "The Economist" when they are tut-tutting the anti-free-market insanity of Brexit and wondering why the dolts of 2016 were not able to anticipate the serious and obvious problems this would create. These are problems future issues of "The Economist" will assure readers they foresaw with great clarity, which is why they had always opposed Brexit - in spite of quite clearly supporting it in our current date and time. You can already see hints of their future viewpoint in the above collection of articles. It's reassuring "having always been right" even though this requires the same suspension of disbelief required to accept Papal infallibility.
